Subject: Corporate governance (s7-19-03)
I have been a stockholder in various companies since 1965. Most of my funds
are in various stock inverstments. I urge you to do more to improve corporate
goverance. The present rules and even the proposed rules can only be considered
ridiculous. To demand a 35% negaative vote to get a board nominee on the ballot
a year later is absurd. There needs to be a means for prompt action with a lower
threshold level. The commission is abetting the extensive mismanagement and old
boys network but not setting the standards higher.
